so it's been two years

this poor blog.

i should probably just leave well enough alone…but i can’t.

i started this blog in 2006 and between the demands of work, family, a multi-state move, depression, an unexpected pregnancy, advocacy projects and graduate school i have never been able to follow through with it.

i have no idea whether anybody still follows this blog but i want to give it another go. blogger and i have never been friends so i have resurrected my blog at this address: http://www.first-fig.com. i have backdated some posts that i have written elsewhere and in the future will try my hardest to treat this blog the way that i would like to be treated.

i am not so naive to think that this time will be different…

but i am hopeful.

Hey I am so grateful I found your weblog, I really found you by mistake, while I was researching on Google for something else, Anyways I am here now and would just like to say thanks a lot for a fantastic post and a all round interesting blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to browse it all at the minute but I have saved it and also added in your RSS feeds,so when I have time I will be back to read more, Please do keep up the great work.

By the fig and the olive And [by] Mount Sinai And [by] this secure city [Makkah], We have certainly created man in the best of stature; Then We return him to the lowest of the low, Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds, for they will have a reward uninterrupted. So what yet causes you to deny the Recompense? Is not Allah the most just of judges?

About Me

I currently work as a domestic violence counselor, a job that I find challenging but incredibly fulfilling. When not at work, I'm playing with my young son, nursing a brand new baby, spending time with my husband and pining to go to graduate school. I try my hardest not to drop the many balls I'm attempting to juggle. Sometimes I succeed.
